Using two mice seems alot harder to me than simply learning to navigate two screens with one mouse [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

For me, it's not a question of learning anything.

The issue is how much time and motion it takes, on a single mouse, to go from the left far edge of monitor 1 to the right far edge of monitor 2 -- even with speed/sensitivity set to max.

Is this problem really that hard to solve? There are plenty of options which you can explore:

- Find a way to open a second account at Party proper. I wouldn't suggest it but won't say it cant be done.
- Create an account at a non Party site, there is a world outside of Party Poker.
- Learn to effectively use one mouse.
- find an alternative pointing device Alternative Meeces
- Play with overlap on one screen
- Limit your play to four tables because you are unwilling to adjust.

You are barking up the wrong tree with this "two mouse solution". These will solve your problem:

www.autohotkey.com

www.multitablehelper.com

On the multitable site, just download the executible zip file and install it.

It has several keyboard functions built in, but I like the customization available with autohotkey.

MUCH EASIER ON THE WRIST AND BRAIN....

Good Luck!

Yes, you can also setup MTH to do nothing but to move the mouse to the active table for you, that should save you a lot of movement.

Is there a manual or help listing somewhere for this?

Tried it out. May prove to be useful, but the screen-swapping will take a lot of getting used to. Worst is when it disappears before I can see the hand's outcome. Is there a way to lock the screens temporarily?

Someone mentioned mouse acceleration. I remember having that on older PCs. My current setup doesn't offer it (maybe it's a feature of the mouse driver?) Is there an add-on for it?

1. I've practiced the technique of using two mice at the same time, one in each hand. I could get used to it, but it's slightly annoying, as I only have one pair of eyes.
2. I can see navigating two screen with one mouse being physically tiring over the long run.
